Thanks for the update - we wait with baited breath! I do now that BBC is causing some delays for the other books such as the Unit Guide and the TIme travellers Companion since they want all the layouts changed to Matt Smith and the new logos. Hmm, not sure that this can still be used as an excuse as the need to rebrand these has been known about for well over a year now. Perhaps they havent been rebranded yet because C7 was working on Abney Park and the One Ring? Corone did say that working on the One Ring was one of the reasons for the DW delay.

I managed to get a word in with one of the chief book designers at Gen Con after a DWAITAS session. It is his opinion that the re-branded core rulebooks should be out by Christmas. We even got to use the re-branded character sheets and new generic characters (which are all awesome, by the way). All they're waiting on is a few more pictures from the BBC to put into the book, which they have been taking their sweet time in releasing. We even got to use a few rules from "The Time Travellers Companion" to rearrange TARDIS rooms and reconnecting the main doors to a different room. We also got a sneak-peek at a PDF of the core books. All-in-all, it has been a long wait, but it seems to almost be over and I think it'll be worth it in the end. The core book release will open a floodgate for other releases that have been backed up (like 'Traveller's Companion' and 'UNIT'). I have high hopes for the future of DWAITAS.

I do wish C7 would actually get the Matt Smith edition out because the sample cover I've seen is gorgeous. And, one of my closest gaming friends is playing River Song in a Live Journal game. Using River's stats from the forum here. But, it would be nice to see her "official" write up !

The official writeup for River and her gadgets (including her 'future sonic' and 'datapad' were in the game I played at Gen Con. As were Amy, post-Nestene (series 6) Rory, Craig Owens, the Eleventh Doctor, as well as some generic characters like the Politician, the Rock Star, the Scientist, the UNIT Soldier, and the Adventuring Archeologist (complete with bullwhip, messenger bag, and fedora). I got to keep the generics and the guy who played the Doctor let me keep that one as well. However, the guy who played river kept his sheet so I can't tell you exactly what was on her sheet. Looking forward to the re-branded release!

There's some further info from GenCon in the latest issue of the Diary of the Dr Who RPGs: homepages.bw.edu/~jcurtis/modules.htmThe relevent snippets are: We caught up with the team from Cubcile 7 at GenCon and had a chance to talk with Dominic McDowell Thomas and Andrew Peregrine who both work on the Doctor Who Adventures in Time and Space RPG line. Here are some of the things that they said were being worked on.
With the release of the new 2nd Edition Matt Smith version of the core rules set, which is currently expected in October, it will give Cubicle 7 the chance to release more products. The BBC has required the rebranding of the product to the new logo and Eleventh Doctor before new items can be released for the line.There's a bit more about likely future releases, but the above is the key info on the 11th Doctor Edition itself.

I''l just be thrilled in the 11th Doctor set and screen are out this year. And, it would be good for C7 to have this in stores by the holidays.

Lol, by the time this gets around to being released, the BBC will have announced the 12th Doctor and they'll have to rebrand it all again!
Its a "nice to have" for me, since the 10th Doctor set is working just fine and this one isn't doing any major changes - but the fact that its holding up the supplements is a right pain.

So has anyone heard/discovered any more in depth details yet as to where "roughly" the 11th Doctor Boxed Set will stop on information covering the current 11th Doctors Companions/Enemies covered by the boxed set?

Post by Kit on Sept 1, 2011 4:58:47 GMT
I strongly doubt it will go past the end of series 5

Yep, I'd say Series 5 as well - the new edition was formally announced in December last year for an April(hehe) release, which would have made it available the same month that Series 6 started.
Assuming all the writing was actually done at the time of announcement and the delays have been all about rebranding, printing, ignoring it in favour of The One Ring (which is actually a VERY good game) and the like, the 2010 Christmas Special wouldn't have even aired at that point.
The box art has new daleks, new silurians and a cyberman on it - and the first time we get to see a cyberman with the 11th Doctor is in "The Pandorica Opens", so I guess it has to cover at least as far as that episode.
I doubt we'll be seeing entries for The Silence, and River's details will probably be a bit askew - but even if the box had released in April (as first intended), we'd be in the same position anyway.
In fact, as with any active, licensed product, we'll ALWAYS be in that position. Doctor Who keeps moving forwards on TV, even as C-7's release dates slip further behind - and pretty much anything can get contradicted or be rendered out of date/obsolete on a single weekend.
(RPGs based on DC or Marvel comics are in an even worse position...)

thought the gencon sheets were from the new set coming out, thats how i understood it anyway.

Post by Corone on Sept 10, 2011 13:17:28 GMT
The sheets we used at Gen-con are indeed the ones from the new set. However, Madame Vashta and Jenny were late additions for the con and may well not be in the set.
I've suggested to Dom he releases those sheets as a preview, as they do look damn fine too.
As far as I know the 11th Doc edition will just go to the end of season 5.

I'd personally like to see some acknowledgement on Cubicle 7's site that the game is still even a going concern. It's as if, apart from the list of items and the store, they don't even acknowledge the game exists. Or like the game has always been at war with Australasia, and Eastasia has always been it's ally.
